NASA's experimental X-43A didn't have a pilot and couldn't fly independently, but its blisteringly high speeds showed that ...
A’s Legacy Go Operational? -In 2004, NASA’s X-43A set the air-breathing speed record at Mach 9.6, validating scramjet combustion but only for 10 seconds before gliding to splashdown. -The demo ended ...
Breaking Mach 9.6 with an air-breathing engine wasn’t just a speed stunt. It confirmed that scramjets can operate where rockets once had the field to themselves,” said Harry J. Kazianis, citing the ...
DRDO is set to flight-test the Dhvani hypersonic missile by end of 2025. It will fly over Mach 6 with a range of up to 10,000 km.

China is fast-tracking potential space-travel technology designed to simulate speeds of Mach 30, a paradigm changing velocity more than five times the speed of the hypersonic threshold considered to ...
China’s DF-26 hypersonic missile, regarded as one of the most sophisticated missiles in the world, faces multiple challenges from India’s Dhvani missile.
